I have to pull my right front tire off tomorrow to replace a lug stud, I will try to remember to measure the backspacing. Maybe even get some pics, if I can find the damn camera.
crazzywolfie, just saw this in another thread, looks like it will fit..

15's will fit on 99 and older, but, not on 2000-01 trucks. Front calipers on newer trucks are larger....
